Forget that Harley and forgo the Hummer. With a machine like this you can rule the world! Using this cool kit, you can roll over everyone and never leave your armchair. A perfect 1:24 scale replica of the actual Abrams M1A2 Tank, this awesome remote control vehicle does everything you could hope for and so much more. The caterpillar treads are fully articulated to let you climb through the roughest terrain. The turret swivels 320-degrees from left to right and 20 degrees up and down. Best of all, that gun actually fires high-speed, airsoft standard 6mm pellets up to 25 meters! Talk about awesome power - this is clearly not a toy! This unique RC Vehicle literally blows everything else off the battlefield.

General, Sir! we have two vermin streaking across the livingroom.......
It has some upgradable things you can do to it.....Tracks, gears and a few other little thing you may want to customize?Works best on hard surfaces or short pile carpets!Cannon works great and the whole thing scares the bageebeez out of the cats^__^I'm an airsoft veteran and this cannon is pretty powerful for the toy! Use caution!I already got a spare battery 'cause I like it that much^__^The remote control is the only thing bad I could say about it!!! It was totallydesign in the dark after a binge drinking spree early,Monday morning!!!???Absolutely, NOT designed to be used with a tank or tracked vehicle!!!does not function as if dual stick like a real tank cutting down on it maneuverability!turning utilizes one track only in that direction while dragging the other side...I know in real tanks this is true but to have a dual track turn is Well, BETTER^__^And, real also. Just like the real thing. All this in mind turn slow on the carpetsor you may pop off a track or twist it and damage it... Conclusion- Controller works orjust find an old dual stick controller and work a little hobby magic and you'll be set!!!You'll stop when your out of power or tired^___^ ENJOY!

Sorta OK, but...
Sigh, lusted after one of these for YEARS, finally had the spare coins and ordered it.Nice looking even if the plastic looks a little cheap.Shoots pretty good :-). Barrel cycles up and down, unable to just move it where you want it. Just hit the button and it will eventually get there.May well be the deal killer..: Tracks are a very loose fit, come off easily on bare floor or very low carpet. No tension adjustment and tracks are very stretchy.Comes with a cheap wall wart charger and absolutely NO directions on charging it - how long or some smarts in the charger would have been nice. Fortunately, I have a decent battery charger.Since I didn't use the supplied charger for more than a couple minutes as if I forgot it or got busy I would not be surprised if it would damage the battery pack. No way to tell when or if the battery was charged. Fortunately, as noted, I do have a smart charger.The directions / manual it came with was for the German Leopard, took some time to figure out the BBs went in the same hatch as the fire enable switch,Was also missing the safety thingie that goes in the end of the barrel and the box was a bit crushed with the antennas for the tank itself laying in the bottom of the shipping box. The shipping box itself was pristine, so the box for the tank was damaged outside of that,Debating sending it back, but it does look nice on the shelf as a salute to the brave folks fighting the real thing in combat ops.This one: Abrams RC Battle Tank

Don't buy it for the gun (cannon)
I'm an adult and purchased this to ping raccoons in my yard. I knew it would not hurt the animals but might scare them away.Ad says: Weapon fires up to 40 6mm airsoft pellets with continuous shooting action up to 25 meters.Not really. First It has a max weight of .2g for the 6mm pellets. It would not fire .25g 6mm pellets that I have. Using the pellets that came with the toy there is no force. It will not penetrate 'nor dent or ding' one layer of a cardboard box. Range is way short of the advertised 25 meters and probably not even 25 'feet'.There is NO continuous shooting. The ad 'and picture' imply bang, bang, bang, bang. Nope, You press two buttons and there is a loud noise and in 1 or 2 or 3 seconds it fires, If you keep holding the buttons down it repeats the process, with seconds between shots all the time making much loading noise.The canon is lame and a piece of junk, the rest of the tank is better but still need redesign.Two speeds forward and reverse (fast and oh my god faster). It can spin in a tight circle like a top by using opposing track buttons.Radio control range is a joke! With the antenna fully extended (antenna had sharp chrome plating peeling off) it would not work two rooms (no walls). I had to walk up to the unit at about 10 feet. Batteries fully charged.The rechargeable battery is a joke. Ni-cad 9v pack has to be REMOVED from the tank to charge. It would have been so much better if a charging connector was on the rear or bottom of the tank. Just more chance of the kids breaking something off as they turn it upside down and pry open the belly door and not bending the dual antennas. Just a bad design.It does seems to have a lot of power. Running it up against my hand it's much more powerful than another 'RC rock climber' I have. I can't even 'RAM' those pesky raccoons because of all the noise. The tank would never get to them. Can't shoot 'em, can't run 'em over, what's a guy to do?The very bad instructions (sadly expected from China) warns against using it in 'GRASS', probably because of the tracks. The instructions typically don't say why. Warnings about reusing fired BB's.Quote "The tank runs in a place with TOO much sand, mud, dirt or on an EVEN SURFACE which leads to malfunctions or breaks". End quote... Sand, mud, dirt, smooth surface, grass? Wow...Have not used all the features or checked the battery life and probably won't. I'll end up giving it to some kid.Oh, just one button to set turret elevation. Hold the button and the cannon goes down the back up and repeats. This needs TWO buttons, one up and down but it does have forward and reverse lights (shorter battery life).Expensive junk.Not happy...
